There’s an untapped asset hidden inside your organisation
It’s the skills, knowledge and talents of your diverse workforce.
According to McKinsey, ethnically and culturally diverse companies are 36% more profitable than non-diverse companies.
A culturally competent leadership skilled in bringing together employees from different backgrounds helps the organisation gain a competitive edge and profitability over time.
It also creates a more socially cohesive and positive environment where employees feel increasingly engaged with their employer boosting overall productivity.
Cultural competency is predicted to be one of the top ten skills for the future for work. Cultural Competency training customised to your organisation’s needs can help you be future-ready.

Client appreciation
Tasneem was really approachable, professional and understood my concerns straight away.
It was great to have her professional reassurance and leave with some practical advice (short term and long term) which I felt confident to implement.
I would definitely recommend Tasneem’s support for leadership strategies.
NFP, UK
Your insightful and thought-provoking speech not only set the tone for the day but generated a great deal of discussion amongst the participants.
It inspired schools to develop greater understanding of tackling intersectionality and realise the importance of intercultural knowledge, diversity in leadership, and opportunities for action for their schools.
I personally took a lot from your words and have been thinking about your presentation ever since, particularly in terms of my role as a leader in supporting an education system that is supportive of, and empowering for, students from all backgrounds.

Great session and privileged to hear Tasneem’s personal story.
What stuck with me were the statements: “Bad things happen when good people say and do nothing”. And “Seek the good where you find it”.
For me, Tasneem’s presentation reinforced my understanding and tolerance of cultural and religious diversity.
Leadership can be demonstrated through a variety of approaches, but the speaker showed that having a passion for what you believe in, as well as having a “can do” attitude, can make all the difference.

I loved the way Tasneem peeled back the layers of stereotyping and perceptions that inhibit all of us.
I appreciated the open, personal way in which she shared her experiences and knowledge.
Please continue your talks; they make a difference!
